I must admit I have only been to 2 bakery's in Brookline, Athan's being 1 of them. But this place has great cookies, great flavorful Gelato, great deserts to bring to parties, the bread selection is weak but great coffee and tea. Definitely worth checking out, you will not be dissapointed. It is true the staff is not the friendliest but the fodd does make up for it.
Pros: Selection, Flavorfilled pastries, cookies
Cons: slightly on price, staff
